Keep going - it does get better - I promise! I am almost two yrs out now and down 110 - I am working like crazy to lose 30 more, I know I will get there - just may take another year. You will hit many plateaus - don't get discouraged - it happens to all of us, it's just your body trying to adjust because it doesn't want to let go of what it is used to having. Keep your chin up - it will come off!

I have spent the last several years caring for terminally ill and elderly family members, as well as holding down a full time job and having a husband and children of my own. Can you spell STRESSED.... I have been looking into the WLS options for a couple of years, and decided that 2011 is the year for ME. I have decided upon the VGS because of several factors - 1. I don't have the time required for the lapband's constant maintenance, also have known several that have had it break, etc... . 2. The RnY - in my opinion - is just too evasive for me, i don't want my stuff re-routed and useless parts left in that have the potential to still cause problems down the road. I am just now starting this process, have my consultation on 2/2/11 with Dr. E. Wilson and will go from there. Meanwhile, my little sister had this same procedure done 11/2010, and is doing extremely well, and are a great support for each other as we are really close. I am excited to take this journey, to follow the "yellow brick road" to a new me, inside, and out.

Absolutely awesome encouraging words. Thank You!!!!!!
